Sevilla will stand firm: they don’t need the money and they will only sell Moreno if they receive an irresistible offer that surpasses €20 million (£16m).

Sevilla saved the money from Ivan Rakitic's sale to pay the salaries of the squad, so loan deals don't really suit. If they sell Moreno they will be able to sign an offensive midfielder and a new left-back; since selling Negredo and Navas to Manchester City because of debts they have tried to act more cautiously.

The Sevilla fans are very keen to sell him because there are many doubts about his evolution after his disappointing performances in the last few months of the season.

The club and the coach, Unai Emery, always insist that they have faith in him because he is a young talent, but also because they don’t want to lower his asking price.

Reds chief executive Ian Ayre is in Spain in a bid to finalise a deal for the 22-year-old, and is also confident of tying up a loan deal with Atletico Madrid for Javier Manquillo.

But talks are progressing after a two-month delay and Brendan Rodgers is now confident that a deal can be agreed for the Spain Under-21 international.

A agreement with La Liga champions Atletico for right-back Manquillo is also close. The 20-year-old has made only six appearances in the Primera Division and would provide cover for Glen Johnson at Anfield.

The two moves would push Liverpool's summer spending past the £100m mark following the £70m sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona.

Southamption trio Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert have all moved to Merseyside, while Emre Can joined from Bayer Leverkusen and Lazar Markovic has been recruited from Benfica.

Rogders has also signed Divock Origi from Lille, but the Belgium striker will return to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on loan for the 2014-15 campaign.
